The following year he became a priest in Caen. Led into mathematics by reading Euclid , he read Descartes and thereafter devoted himself to mathematical sciences. Varignon's chief contributions were to graphical statics and mechanics. He published in 1687. He was one of the first French scholars to recognise the value of the calculus and developed analytic dynamics by adapting Leibniz 's calculus to the inertial mechanics of Newton 's Principia Among his other work was a publication in 1699 on applications the differential calculus to fluid flow and to water clocks. In 1702 he applied the calculus to clocks driven by a spring.

Varignon himself says that he was born poor and had no patrimony or possession beyond his own labor. 3. Nationality Birth: French Career: French Death: French 4. Education Schooling: Caen, M.A. He probably studied at the Jesuit college in Caen. He received a Master's of Arts degree (from the University, I believe) in 1682. I assume a B.A. 5. Religion Affiliation: Catholic On 19 December 1676 he received the tonsure. At some unknown later date he became a priest. His ecclesiastical career enabled him to study at the University of Caen where he was undoubtedly one of the oldest students. 6. Scientific Disciplines Primary: Mathematics, Mechanics Varignon's primary contribution to the progress of science was his pedagogical activity in general statics. In 1687 he published his Projet d'une nouvelle méchanique. Like the work of Newton and Lamy, Varignon's Projet contained the principle of the compostion of forces by infinitely small movements rather than finite ones. This work, which he dedicated to the Académie des Sciences, led to his nomination to the Académie in 1688. In the same year he was appointed professor at the Collège Mazarin. He became one of a handful of men who were teaching advanced mathematics at the time. His teaching duties and his responsibilities as an academicien fully occupied his time and he had no leisure to prepare works for publication. He wrote short works that appeared in journals or as memoirs of the Académie. One memoir showed how to apply infinitesimal analysis to the science of motion and how, in specific cases, to use the relationship between force and acceleration.

Education Schooling: Caen; Paris, M.D. He studied humanities at the University of Caen and, later, philosophy at the University of Paris, where, according to Michaud, he studied mathematics under Varignon. His interests in science led him to study mathematics, physics, natural history, geography, and chemistry. He apparently received a medical degree. I assume a B.A. or its equivalent. In the 1690's his interests turned toward medicine and natural philosophy. 5. Religion Affiliation: Catholic His uncle was a great preacher and even preached in front of Louis XIV. 6. Scientific Disciplines Primary: Physics, Natural Philosophy Subordinate: Electricity He was a staunch believer that conclusions about causes must be based on experimentation. He was one of the first in France to present public lectures on experimental natural philosophy.

    Extractions: Hesketh and Ward Ltd. VARIGNON, Pierre. Trattato del moto e della misura delle acque correnti e dei getti delle medesime con un trattato preliminare del moto in generale tratto dalle opere manuscritte del fu signor Varignoni dal signor' abate Pujol e tradotto dal francese in italiano. Bologna, nella stamperia di Lelio dalla Volpe, 1736. 4to. 68ff. (including the final blank). 3 folding engraved plates, engraved device on title-page, one headpiece and 3 culs-de-lampe (2 of the latter bsigned by Mantarelli), in original cartone alla rustica, small piece missing from spine, uncut. First Italian edition of Varignon's (1654-1722) Traité du mouvement, et de la mesure des eaux coulantes et jaillissantes, first published, posthumously, in 1725. While not in the forefront of scientific thinkers of the time, and heavily criticised by Bossut and others some fifty years after his death, his Projet d'une nouvelle méchamique, published in 1687, brought about his nomination as geometer in the Académie des Sciences in 1688, as well as the first appointment to the newly created professorship of mathematics at the Collège Mazarin. 'By inaugurating a chair devoted specifically to mathematics at the Collège Mazarin, he joined the handful of men who were then teaching advanced mathematics: and it is in this context that his work was of great importance', DSB. He was also in frequent correspondence with Leibnitz and Bernoulli. This item is listed on Bibliopoly by Hesketh and Ward Ltd.

    Extractions: Le début du dix-huitième siècle a vu l'apparition d'un livre déjà important: la Nouvelle Mécanique ou Statique, ouvrage posthume de Pierre Varignon. Ce savant, né à Caen, ardent partisan du calcul infinitésimal, qu'il défend contre Rolle, expose toute la statique à partir de la loi de la composition des forces; il donne, en particulier, pour la première fois dans toute sa généralité, le théorème des moments. En appendice à cet ouvrage se lit une lettre adressée en 1717 à Varignon par Jean Bernoulli, contenant l'exposé complet du principe des déplacements virtuels. Ainsi peu à peu, naît la mécanique rationnelle classique. " Daumas, Histoire de la Science, p. 598.
